The full story

Why Acura Of Fremont earned this grade

Between June 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.

What they do well

2 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 20% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,495 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $536 is above CA's legal cap of $85. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $85 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
